Modern Family Remodel – The Living Room and Powder Bathroom
We’re back with our Modern Family Remodel Tour. If you want to see the posts already on the blog about this home please see the Kitchen here and the Den here. We’re moving on to the Living Room and Powder/Guest Bathroom today.
The Living Room
This was a favorite space for the clients and they didn’t want much done with remodeling just painting it a modern white and then decorated to fit into their modern look. I pulled blues and greens for this space to tie in the colors from the kitchen/mudroom area.
We reupholstered their original sofas, added a bold green chair and vinyl covered sofa table to really give it a modern touch and all in kid-friendly fabrics to keep up with this busy family’s lifestyle. A modern art canvas to pull in the colors along with a mid-century wood and white media console warm it up a bit and tie in with the wood floors.
Since window treatments weren’t wanted a striped rug was added for pattern.
Coffee table and side tables modern in whites, golds, and acrylic were added to update the space.
The paneled moldings serve to frame a nice simple black and white art gallery.
I chose wood accents to warm up the space, along with pulling in more gold to give it a real balanced looked.
For the bookcase, I used colored accessories and books along with wood and gold accents to create balance within this space. Using family photos it gives it that personal touch.
The Guest Bathroom
For the Guest Bathroom, the challenge was the house doesn’t really have a powder bath. It came with two Jack and Jill vanities and one is open to the hallway right outside the living room so we opted to refaced it creating a very dramatic redo.
Wallpaper was chosen to go with the Living Room which is right outside the toilet and vanity area. We found this fabulous pattern from Cole and Sons. The other vanity and shower are for the guestroom that is next to it. We could not wall it off since both share the toilet and the client didn’t want to blow the budget with moving the toilet which can be quite expensive.
Two great spaces in this Modern Family Home designed with Mom and Dad in mind!

Happy Decorating! Karen
Kind words from my client:
Karen assisted us with a full-home remodel. Her process and attention to detail ensured our project was on time. She worked with our chaotic personal schedules for meetings and her enthusiasm made the process a joy. Karen was able to marry our modern style with durable furnishings that will stand up to children and pets. She accommodated our existing pieces as well as our love of quirk and whimsy. Our floor plans are practical, allow for storage, and flow well for entertaining guests of all ages. Karen helped us design a beautiful, family-friendly home we absolutely love.

Imagine walking into your living room to find your toddler covered in marker along with your furniture! My daughter's "Marker Art" was a defining moment. It was then that I reinvented my business to find the very best family-friendly furnishings and solutions for my client's homes.
My blog shares the very best of what I have learned about family-friendly design these past 18 years.
